Precious Plastic Workspaces, Brazil

What is Precious Plastic?

Founded in 2013, Precious Plastic is an open source plastic recycling project. The project is an ‘alternative plastic recycling system’, endeavouring to make it possible for individuals and communities to recycle plastic on a local scale.

What's different when I apply through ChangeX?

ChangeX is wanting to get more communities up and running with Precious Plastic Workspaces, in their local contexts. If you're browsing this page and see the 'funding available' icon relevant to your region, then you can apply via ChangeX for the necessary funding to specifically set up a Precious Plastic Workspace in your community.

More than that, should you be successful in accessing the funding, we will connect you with a local Precious Plastic expert in your country. They will guide you through the process, help you source the necessary machinery, train you in the recycling methods, and ensure you're equipped for success. For projects across Brazil, you'll be connected to an existing Precious Plastic team: Arte 8 Reciclagem.
